Sunday marks your last chance to catch "The Comedy of Errors" as presented by Seven Stages Shakespeare Company for the Prescott Park Arts Festival this summer. Two sets of twins separated at birth turn a secluded bayou town on its head for the strangest afternoon on record when they unwittingly cross paths in this boisterous farce. The visiting twins from hated Syracuse find themselves greeted by strangers and given unsolicited gifts, the hometown twins native to Ephesus find themselves locked out of their home and inexplicably pestered by police and creditors alike, and the rest of the town is left seeing double and trying to sort out the incredibly unusual sequence of events. Directed by Kevin Condardo and featuring a host of talented Seacoast actors, you won't want to miss this comedic adventure. The show starts at 3 p.m. Sunday in the park, off Marcy Street in Portsmouth. Admission is a suggested donation of $8 to $10. For information, call 436-2848 or visit www.prescottpark.org.
